Jazz worked on the teleportation device. Viktor was wandering the secret lab with Magnet and some of the other soldiers. Megan, Zeus, and the others stood guard. I was sitting in a corner hugging my legs to my chest, feeling helpless and reading the minds around me. Half of the soldiers think that Cyrus was dead. We knew better, Cyrus died once before, and he came back. But, I can't feel his mind anymore. He's most likely out of range, but I never felt this scared. It was deeper than scared, it was.....what's that word? Dread? Yeah, that sounds about right. I dreaded about what was going on.
Maybe I can do that "Powered Up" thing I did back when we were trapped in Talos. Then I'd be able to stop the monsters, save the world, and bring our family back together.
I put my head went onto my knees. I want to go home, both of them. Why can't all our families live together in one ginormous house? That way, we can all live happily ever after. I could hang out with Magnet and Charlie and Wayne (my older brothers). I can have two different dads right? Cyrus is my first dad. Howard is my step-dad. And Bishop.......he was never my dad.
"Captain Reynold! I got it! We can follow Cyrus now!" I jumped up and said, "I'll call the others." I sent out a thought to Viktor and Magnet. Guys! We're saving Cyrus now! Hurry back!
They soon arrived and we entered the Portal one at a time. I was second to last. Most of the soldiers were standing guard at the portal. Just three going in. When we got through I saw that we were in a cave. Megan spoke first, "This doesn't look like some evil super overlord base." Jazz said, "We need to find Cyrus. We split into two groups. Megan, Lt. Gilligan, Viktor, and Magnet will go down that way. The rest of us will go down the other way." I said, "Uh, Jazz?" "What is it honey?" She said finally looking up from a pad. "What are those?" I said, pointing down the hallway she indicated that we were going down. She looked up and her eyes widened. "Prepare for attack!" I got behind her as I listened to the minds of the new soldiers. kill intruders. follow orders. arm weapons. hail Obelisk. Obelisk the Maddening.
Their minds. Their thoughts, they feel like something familiar, but it was impossible wasn't it?
They feel like Cyrus' thoughts.
